Please take time to read this and pay particular attention to "A Little Gun History" about half way down staggering numbers!

Why Carry a Gun?My old Grandpa said to me, "Son, there comes a time in every man’s life when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and usually it’s when he becomes too old to take a whoopin’."

I don’t carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil; I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry; I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because real men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police protection is an oxymoron: Free citizens must protect themselves because police do not protect you from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take a whoopin’!

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

PLEASE DON’T THINK FOR A MOMENT, THATTHIS COULDN’T HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY ALSO!

B. The New Testament gives no date or year for Jesus’ birth. The earliest gospel – St. Mark’s, written about 65 CE – begins with the baptism of an adult Jesus. This suggests that the earliest Christians lacked interest in or knowledge of Jesus’ birthdate.

C. The year of Jesus birth was determined by Dionysius Exiguus, a Scythian monk, “abbot of a Roman monastery. His calculation went as follows:

a. In the Roman, pre-Christian era, years were counted from ab urbe condita (“the founding of the City” [Rome]). Thus 1 AUC signifies the year Rome was founded, 5 AUC signifies the 5th year of Rome’s reign, etc.

b. Dionysius received a tradition that the Roman emperor Augustus reigned 43 years, and was followed by the emperor Tiberius.

c. Luke 3:1,23 indicates that when Jesus turned 30 years old, it was the 15th year of Tiberius reign.

d. If Jesus was 30 years old in Tiberius’ reign, then he lived 15 years under Augustus (placing Jesus birth in Augustus’ 28th year of reign).

f. However, Luke 1:5 places Jesus’ birth in the days of Herod, and Herod died in 750 AUC – four years before the year in which Dionysius places Jesus birth.

D. Joseph A. Fitzmyer – Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies at the Catholic University of America, member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, and former president of the Catholic Biblical Association – writing in the Catholic Church’s official commentary on the New Testament[1], writes about the date of Jesus’ birth, “Though the year [of Jesus birth is not reckoned with certainty, the birth did not occur in AD 1. The Christian era, supposed to have its starting point in the year of Jesus birth, is based on a miscalculation introduced ca. 533 by Dionysius Exiguus.”

E. The DePascha Computus, an anonymous document believed to have been written in North Africa around 243 CE, placed Jesus birth on March 28. Clement, a bishop of Alexandria (d. ca. 215 CE), thought Jesus was born on November 18. Based on historical records, Fitzmyer guesses that Jesus birth occurred on September 11, 3 BCE.

II.How Did Christmas Come to Be Celebrated on December 25?

A. Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the weeklong celebration. The festival began when Roman authorities chose “an enemy of the Roman people” to represent the “Lord of Misrule.” Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week. At the festival’s conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering this innocent man or woman.

B. The ancient Greek writer poet and historian Lucian (in his dialogue entitled Saturnalia) describes the festival’s observance in his time. In addition to human sacrifice, he mentions these customs: widespread intoxication; going from house to house while singing naked; rape and other sexual license; and consuming human-shaped biscuits (still produced in some English and most German bakeries during the Christmas season).

C. In the 4th century CE, Christianity imported the Saturnalia festival hoping to take the pagan masses in with it. Christian leaders succeeded in converting to Christianity large numbers of pagans by promising them that they could continue to celebrate the Saturnalia as Christians.continued here

This is an animated picture of the 3 figures (statues) on Mars taken by the Curiosity rover in the Gale Crater. The animation is in the shadowing, in an effort to help those who could not see the figures in the original pictures published. If the animation doesn’t work, (however the animation is slower than most, give it time to load) click directly on the picture, it will load in another page.The center figure which has fallen over is is either lying on it’s back or face forward, has a scroll at it’s base lying on the ground, opened. Of course, this scroll is in the same form, it is a statue rendering, much like those many of us have seen in various churches.

President János Áder has just signed away the rights of all that was left of Hungary’s opposition parties after years of gutting legislative powers, crippling the free press, and eliminating all mention of a "republic" in the country’s constitution.

We’ve seen the steps Áder’s taken before. We know these signs. And while the European Union continues to stay silent, the situation for women, ethnic minorities and religious groups in Hungary becomes deadlier by the second.

Please, join us in calling on the member states to act on Article VII of the EU Treaty, which demands they intervene to prevent any state from being robbed of its democratic freedoms. We still have time to stop Áder’s men from stripping Hungary’s people of more rights and protections —but we cannot afford to stay silent for long!

PETITION TO EU MEMBER STATES: We cannot afford to sit by while another European country represses state protections, targets minorities, and spreads anti-Semitism while eliminating free speech. Don’t let Hungary go the way of Nazi Germany — act on Article VII to ensure Hungarians’ rights and freedoms!

Physicians and patients can study any number of report cards that grade the nation’s hospitals. One comes from a healthcare quality reporting group called Healthgrades. Last month, it released its list of 262 hospitals with the lowest risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates for 27 procedures and conditions involving Medicare patients.

These 262 hospitals, representing 5% of the 4500 hospitals evaluated by Healthgrades, posted an aggregate mortality rate for 18 procedures and conditions from 2009 through 2011 that was 30.9% lower than that for all other hospitals. Healthgrades estimates that if the remaining 95% of hospitals had performed just as well during this time, more than 164,000 Medicare patients might not have died.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, coronary angioplasty and stenting, sepsis, bowel obstruction, pneumonia, and neurosurgery are among the 18 procedures and conditions that figure into the mortality rate score. Healthgrades weighs complication rates for hip replacement, back and neck surgery, carotid surgery, and 4 other procedures.

Some hospitals, Healthgrades notes, perform better than others in only a few clinical specialties. In contrast, the 262 hospitals that earned the Distinguished Hospitals Award for Clinical Excellence from Healthgrades demonstrate high-quality care across a broad spectrum of specialties, according to the group. Aultman Hospital in Canton, Ohio, was 1 of 13 award-winners in the Buckeye State. Photo courtesy of Aultman Hospital

The Healthgrades award is supposed to help patients choose a good hospital. Depending on where they live, however, their choice may require an airplane flight or a long car ride. There are no Clinical Excellence award-winners in Alabama, Alaska, Washington, DC; Maine, Mississippi, Nevada, Rhode Island, Vermont, or West Virginia.

Here’s a picture of a Jet or Drone spraying chem trails on Dec. 23, 2012. Chem trails are a known fact, exact purposes are not clear, could this aircraft be something new?

With the amount of Chem Trails being flown overhead over most of the Nation, it would seem likely that drones of some sort would be doing this, this is a strange looking aircraft, whatever it is. Thanks to the old Marine on Youtube for posting the video.

After the GOP had rape and pillaged the Nation leading us into the Great Depression, FDR, came along and had to bring the country back from their grips,in order to restore the Nation. The Republicans of that era even went so far as to plot to overthrow his new leadership, but that’s another bit of history.

Cancer-busting chemotherapy can cause damage to healthy cells which triggers them to secrete a protein that sustains tumor growth and resistance to further treatment, a study said Sunday.

Researchers in the United States made the “completely unexpected” finding while seeking to explain why cancer cells are so resilient inside the human body when they are easy to kill in the lab.

They tested the effects of a type of chemotherapy on tissue collected from men with prostate cancer, and found “evidence of DNA damage” in healthy cells after treatment, the scientists wrote in Nature Medicine.

Chemotherapy works by inhibiting reproduction of fast-dividing cells such as those found in tumors.

The scientists found that healthy cells damaged by chemotherapy secreted more of a protein called WNT16B which boosts cancer cell survival.

A faulty power inverter is believed to be responsible for catching a boat on fire in Citrus County Saturday night. The local union, Citrus County Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 4562, posted photos of the smoke and flames on the MacRae's side of the river in Homosassa.

Max Fromberg hopes the chilly weather won't stop ice cream lovers from attending opening day Tuesday of the new Homosassa Twistee Treat off U.S. 19. Fromberg, president and chief operating officer of the Twistee Treat chain, was on hand Monday to make sure all was ready for the big day. Joining him was area director, Gary Marlin.
